” This study underscores our planet’s fluid nature. Perhaps an ostensibly indistinct have like Mount Everest is subject to continuous geological processes, which are a reminder that the Earth is constantly evolving, frequently in ways that are beyond our control,” according to Mr. Dai.
In a process known as disk tectonics, the firm outer layer of the Earth is divided into massive panels that move slowly over time, with the Himalayas rising after two plates collide.
On the boundary between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, Tibet is known as Sagarmatha in Nepali and Chomolungma in Tibetan. It was named for George Everest, a 19th century British geologist in India.
” Mount Everest occupies a special place in people consciousness”, Mr Dai said.
” Physically, it represents Earth’s highest point, giving it tremendous importance simply by virtue of its stature”, Mr Dai added. ” Culturally, Everest is sacred to local Sherpa and Tibetan areas. Globally, it symbolises the greatest obstacle, embodying human strength and our push to beat perceived limitations”.
